    How long for trails at AK?

    It's very cute, free and fun so I wouldn't skip it totally. We told our boys we couldn't finish but would bring the book back on a subsequent trip.

    How long for trails at AK?

    If your son gets a hold of that Wilderness Guide (from Up) it could take longer. It's fun and there are so many activities to do. My boys loved this when they were younger. See this to get an idea of what you could be in for...

    Tusker House: breakfast or dinner?

    We love to do the breakfast into lunch at Tusker House! Make a 10:40 am breakfast reservation. (matter of fact my son and I will be doing this in 10 day) Go hungry and pace yourself, there will be so many things to try! Enjoy the breakfast price tag that will go along with it!

    New to AP and have questions!

    You are also not considering the discounts that come with the pass with the dining plan or TiW. See here: https://disneyworld.disney.go.com/passholder-program/passholder-benefits-and-discounts/ I do agree with AngiTN, TiW works out better. The other advantage is once you suck in some of your...

    Kids are off property with band and I'm on property

    Yay a Disney band trip! So exciting to have your kid perform in such a happy place. My son went to Disney with his HS band and stayed off site while I stayed on site. Unfortunately, his HS wouldn't give me the ticket info. There were 300 people on the trip so I get not being able to provide the...

    Flight reservation cost weirdness and a layover question

    Hi Lesley, We have a similar thing with our trip. We are starting our trip with a cruise from Marseille, France. The RT from EWR to Marseille with a layover at CDG was $1900 but to book them separately cost only $950 total. Since both of the flights are on Air France I contacted them to see...

    DLP Newbie trip planning question

    I used the advise of @BadPinkTink and visited all of the different websites suggested and found that the French site was much better then the US site with all of the other sites falling somewhere in the middle. We were able to get a Golden Forest room at Sequoia Lodge with half board and express...

    Upgrading park tickets

    If they let you change the amount of days over the phone then switch from 2 to 3. That way you can get FPs for all three days. You can upgrade to hoppers once you are there and decide you want to hop.

    Montana or Standard?

    Lesley, I just booked our trip today! I'm not sure what site you are using to look at the prices, I used the good advise here and check many of the different countries websites to see which price would be better. I was amazed that I was able to get the deal shown on the French site for...

    Toll question....

    As Schumigirl said, the toll is on 528 very soon after you leave the airport. It's the only one toll between MCO and RPR. After countless trips of waiting to pay or scrounging around for change to pay the toll we finally bought a SunPass. You will see that they sell two type's, one is a sticker...

    AP burning a hole in our pockets

    During the first full week in November all of the public schools are closed on Thursday and Friday for a Teacher's Convention. This coupled with many schools having the Tuesday of that week also off for election day is the perfect time to head out of New Jersey. Orlando seems to be a perfect...

    please reassure me

    The IoA counter is to the right of the entrance. Also, we did just what you are doing only we ungraded 3 day passes to Seasonal since we knew about a future trip we could use them one. We decided to sneak in an additional trip but our dates included concert days we then upgraded again to...

    Is "Race through New York with Jimmy Fallon" a must do?

    My family really enjoyed this ride and with the reservation system it doesn't take a lot of time out of your day. I'll also add that there are lots of outlets to charge your phone the the pre-show area. So another plus!

    Sorry, Here I Go Again..... Another Question

    Maybe suggest to the person that is paying to save the money on the Universal tickets and give that family the money to do things like play mini golf and see a movie at Citywalk. They could Uber to the Orlando Eye or even Disney if they don't have a car. If you are staying on Universal property...

    At what crowd level is Express Pass advised?

    I would say if you can swing it getting the EP will be totally worth it. Especially since you say that you don't see yourself coming back for a while. There is so much more to do at UO then in Cali, you might find yourself enjoying it more then you think (and this is from a Disney girl :-))...

    Dining at USO

    I can give one tiny experience that we had Sunday night of Labor Day weekend. We walked up to Cowfish at about 9:15 p.m. the parks had just closed at 9. We were told it was a 40 minute wait, when I showed my key card from PB that dropped to 30 minutes. The actual wait time ended up being 26...
